With a 16-to-1 student/teacher ratio (one of the best in Michigan),
your student's professors will know your son or daughter by name. Ferris students
say they like the high school class size in a college setting, where they
can step outside the small classroom into a bigger world. "I can walk across
campus and have people know me by name, yet not run out of new people to
meet," said a current FSU student.

Since Ferris is student centered, you'll rarely find any graduate assistants
teaching your student here. Our classes are taught by professors who have
both scholarly knowledge and real-world experience in the subjects they
are teaching, giving them an edge in preparing students for the professional
licensing and certifications required in many of our programs. With a 16-to-1
student/teacher ratio, your teen's professors will know your son or daughter
by name. Student-to-professor personal interaction offers mentoring, advice
and employment connections for your student.

Ferris cares that your son or daughter has good things to do outside
of class -- that's why we offer approximately 200 recognized student organizations. Students
take part in politics, publications (including the college newspaper),
cultural and entertainment events, religious groups, theater, debate, vocal
groups, softball, soccer, football, sororities, fraternities, student chapters
of professional organizations, service organizations and dozens more.
